Storyboard Text

Main Idea: Chapter one introduces Huck as a character. Readers begin to see pivotal elements of his personality, including his opposition to civilization, his endless free spirit, and his superstitious tendencies.﻿ We also discover that Huck is different from most people of the time period, as he does not blindly accept the ideas proposed to him, such as religion and goodness- he thinks critically and forms his own opinions. This trait will hold a deeper impact later in the novel when Huck is introduced to more difficult concepts, including slavery and race.

﻿Widow Douglas and her sister, Miss Watson, attempt to educate Huck about religion, but he disagrees with their beliefs

Huck accidentally kills a spider, and he becomes very superstitious.

Tom Sawyer appears outside of Huck's window.﻿

Literary Element: Personification "...the wind was trying to whisper something to me and I couldn't make out what is was, and so it made the cold shivers run over me."
